The bottles collected will be sent to developing countries and other areas, where doctors are in need of bottles to put pills for patients at health clinics. In the past, these bottles have been shipped to Nicaragua, Haiti and Guatemala. In addition to helping others, donating also keeps thousands of bottles out of landfills each year.

"I was surprised this week by Janet Kahler of Himmel’s Church in Northumberland County who drove two hours to drop off 10 large boxes!" said Brown. "We also received a package sent from Tennessee in the mail!"

The bottles can be prescription and over-the-counter pill bottles, large and small pill bottles, pill bottles with or without child-resistant caps. Remove the labels from prescription pill bottles prior to donating. They prefer pill bottles without medical labels and ones that have been thoroughly rinsed.
